Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Hi Nick's mom, BunkerQB here from the SF group.
With a score of 90, what about nuke force? or IT? CTI? We have a number of nukes in the SF group and IT too. You also need to think "after the Navy" job options. His high scores opens more doors. Although I have heard that most of the nukes were in the range of 95+. Quartermaster may limit his career choices later. Post a message in the SF group if you think you want your son to talk to someone locally (face to face).
Bunker - I'm actually making another Excel spread sheet for ASVAB that explains everything. I have most of it done, but since the Navy changed some of the qualifiers, I need to update it.
NicksMom - To find which ratings are undermanned, here is the offical link to the Career Reenlistment Objectives (CREO). Look at the middle of the group for:
CREO Listing
and
Critial NEC in the Fleet Ride

The overall score truly means nothing, except if he's qualified to join the Navy. He must have at least a 50 on the test. What matters is his individual scores. Those will tell him what he's qualified for.
So lets just say he wants Nuke. He has to meet at least one of these:
VE + AR + MK + MC + NAPT => 290
or
AR + MK + EI + GS + NAPT => 290
or
VE + AR + MK + MC => 252
or
AR + MK + EI +GS => 252
Check out the following groups to see if any of them meet your needs: SECF - ET & FT & STS, Sonar Technician Submarine, Sonar Tech Submarine Wives, sub moms, Submarine Girlfriends, Fiancées, & Wives, Sub Wives.
I don't see an individual group for GSM, but they are snipes, so Snipe Moms group?
I will check it out when I get a chance. I had plan to take everything out of the Table and put everything in the body of the discussion - like the discussion for the Ships and PIR groups. Just ran out of time. Hard to believe it has been almost 18 months since I created this discussion.
Yep, just like Anti said, the Snipe moms..
